BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a cosmetic pedestal mirror, and more particularly to a cosmetic pedestal mirror that has no weighting blocks and needs no polishing and electroplating processes in manufacture.

2. Description of Related Art

Conventional cosmetic mirror is suspend to the wall or combined with a vanity to help users to check their appearance. Thus, the conventional cosmetic mirror is immovable and can not be adjusted in angles. Another conventional movable cosmetic mirror is a single piece embedded in a cosmetic case and has to be held by hands when using. Therefore, it is troublesome and inconvenient in use and the holding hand will be tired or numb without other supporting after a spell. Meanwhile, trimming the cloth and face by only one hand is more difficult than by two hands.

To overcome foregoing drawbacks, a modified desk cosmetic mirror as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is provided. The desk cosmetic mirror substantially comprises a base 10 mounted with an erecting connecting rod 20, an arc mirror frame 30 mounted on the connecting rod 20, and a dual-side round mirror 40 pivotally mounted on the mirror frame 30. Wherein, the base 10 is a thin outer shell 101 made of metallic material and having a weighing block 102 wrapped with a plastic coating layer. The connecting rod 20 has a lower end extending a bolt 201 with a small diameter that penetrates through holes 1011, 1021 on the outer shell 101 and the weighing block 102 in cooperating with cushion A and nut B for securing to combine the connecting rod 20 and the base 10. Moreover, the outer shell 1 has a bottom combined with a bottom board 103 for closing and the bottom board 103 has a fixing hole 1031 defined at its center to allow the bolt 201 of the connecting rod 20 penetrating therethrough to cooperate with another nut C for securing to make the bottom board 103 and the outer shell 101 securely combined. Additionally, a slip-proof pad 102 is attached to an outer surface of the bottom board 10 to keep the cosmetic mirror being placed stably.

However, the later conventional cosmetic mirror still has some drawbacks in actual practice that need to be resolved:

1. The base 10 needs to combine with the weighing block 102 and its surface needs polishing and electroplating process so that manufacturing cost is high.

2. Except the waste water generated by the electroplating process caused by the treatment of the out shell 101 of the base 10, the outer shell 101 and the weighing block 102 of the base 10 is highly difficult in recycling when the cosmetic mirror is damaged. Therefore, the dumped cosmetic mirror causes more environmental problems.

3. Although the outer shell 101 of the base 10 is treated by the electroplating process, it still has the rusting problem after a period of time.

If the base 10 is made of wood, the durability is poor and becomes rotten soon.

4. The base 10 has no variety in appearance so that it is monotonous and the decorative efficiency and quality is increased.
